Iga Świątek (WTA 1.) was the only tennis player last season to reach at least the fourth round of all Grand Slam tournaments. The Polish finished the competition at Wimbledon last year in the fourth round, losing 7: 5, 1: 6, 1: 6 to Tunisian Anas Jaber. Now Świątek will start the tournament with a match against Croatian Jana Fett (WTA 254), who won promotion in the playoffs.
We know the path of Iga Šwietik to win Wimbledon. Only the main competitor in the final
Iga Šwijtek’s main contender for this year’s Wimbledon is Tunisia’s Anas Jabeur (WTA-2). However, it is in the second part of the arc, which means that a direct duel between these players is possible only in the final match. If the Poles defeat Jana Wit, she will play in the next round against the match winner Sonay Kartal (Great Britain, WTA 228.) – Danka Kovinic (Montenegro, WTA 88.). In the fourth round, Iga could face Barbara Krejcikova (WTA 15), and in the quarter-finals with Jessica Pegula (WTA 9).
